The purpose of the League Operators is to vote on all significant matters including rule changes and tournament location. The group is comprised of Board of Directors plus all participating and active League Operators.
If the desire is to become a new League Operator or to renew your membership as a League Operator for the new year, you will need to complete the Intent Form. This yearly membership must be submitted by our annual June meeting (dates vary). If you are a requesting a new League Operator status, your request will be voted on by the existing Board of League Operators at the June meeting.
As a league operator, you are responsible for ensuring your players are ranked appropriately. Ensuring your players are being ranked correctly will save you and our qualifications committee time as the tournament looms closer. If they are a new or existing player, check out other sanctioning bodies and/or their Compusport Rating (CSR) to see how the player is ranked as chances are pretty good their level of play isn't different from ISPA and other sanctioning bodies. If they are not currently ranked, use your best judgement based on known ability. If you have questions on how to rank someone, please refer to the following definitions of our ranking system or talk to a board member:
Open – this division is reserved for entry level players. These players will typically not be able to run a rack. They most likely will need 2 or 3 times at the table to win. They don’t have the knowledge of all aspects of the game at this level.
Intermediate – these players are a step above open players. They most likely play more and have a little more knowledge of the game. They have the ability to run a rack and may be able to execute some good safe play. They will be able to play better shape and have more control of the game.
Advanced – they are better than Intermediate players but not as good or as experienced as masters. They have the ability to run racks more consistently and can execute well played safeties. They have a good foundation of knowledge and will most likely win significantly more of their games when playing a lower ranked player.
Masters – can routinely run racks and are better than most of the field of players. Players who are in the upper part of the advanced category will be moved up to masters after review.
Elites – there are only a handful of Elite players identified by the ISPA. They are permitted to play in the Masters division, with a handicap to their opponent. The ISPA Qualifications committee determines who is considered an Elite player.
